SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been added by full text:

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

1. Statement: The SCA has very specific requirements relating to items such as hazard pay and overtime

Question: How will the Government evaluate the proposals to ensure that these items are correctly priced?

Answer: Refer to solicitation section d, Volume IV Price (Cost), page 38 paragraph vii.

Proposed wages will be evaluated based on the Department of Labor (DoL) Wage Determinations for those positions.

2. Questions: Combined Synopsis/Solicitation Document page 36: Will the government evaluate past performance from a teaming subcontractor, or must all performance history be demonstrated fully by the prime offeror in either a prime or subcontract role?

Answer: Refer to solicitation section c, Volume III Past Performance, page 36 paragraph b) The Offeror SHALL provide a minimum of three (3) and no more than five (5) contracts/jobs performed within the last five (5) years prior to the date of issuance of this solicitation for the submitted data. The Offeror can use the past performance information where it was the prime or a subcontractor performing the same or similar services. The past performance data shall document a valid history of past contract performance.

3. Combined Synopsis/Solicitation Document page 1: How will questions and responses be distributed? Will this be done by email, or will they be posted?

Answer: All answers will be posted on SAM.gov via amendment of solicitation W9124M-22-R- 0023.

4. Issue:

This proposal is being prepared during a great deal of uncertainty associated with unprecedented inflation and high interest rates. There is no provision for economic price adjustments.

Question:

Will the Government incorporate FAR Clause 16.203-1 into the contract, or is the intent for the small businesses to solely bear all the risks associated with price volatility?

Answer: No, FAR clause 52.222-43 Fair Labor Standards Act and Service Contract Labor Standards - Price Adjustment (Multiple Year and Option Contracts) is in the solicitation.

Refer to FAR 16.203-1 Fixed-price contracts with economic price adjustment. There is not sufficient justification to include FAR 16.203-1 in this solicitation.

5. Issue:

RFP, Section M, Factor 3, Page 39. This proposal is being prepared during a great deal of uncertainty associated with unprecedented inflation and high interest rates.

Question:

Considering the high level of economic uncertainty associated with persistent inflation, how will the Government determine that prices are reasonable and realistic?

Answer: Market research and competition.

6. Issue:

PWS, Section C, 5.3.1, page 20. The Paragraph states that RCRA / Stormwater Inspections: It is anticipated that the Contractor shall conduct approximately 85 formal inspections of Installation (i.e., Fort Stewart and HAAF inclusive) military and civilian facilities per quarter. No specifics are provided for these inspections. In addition, there is no indication of the time it takes for these inspections, and only an incumbent would have such information.

Question:

So that all bidders have a common basis and can accurately estimate the level of effort, what is the average time it takes to conduct 1 inspection or a range average? Utilizing the TE+5.3.1- 001+RCRA+InspectionChecklist

Answer: These inspections typically take 1 – 1 ½ hours. We are expecting contractor to use commercial industry practices and meet the requirements of the PWS.

7. Issue:

PWS, Section C, 5.3.2, page 21. The paragraph states that Facility Assistance Visits (FAV's): It is anticipated that the Contractor shall conduct approximately 130 facility assistance visits (FAV's) per month of Installation (i.e., Fort Stewart and HAAF inclusive) military and civilian facilities. There is no indication of how long these visits are or any specifics. Only an incumbent would have such information.

Question:

So that bidders can accurately estimate the workload to support these FAV's, what is the average time for each visit?

Answer: Time spent on an FAV is dependent on the compliance status of the activity at the time of the visit. If the activity has several areas in need of improvement the assessor will spend more time coaching and mentoring the activity to regain compliance. A FAV could last 1-4 hours.

8. Issue:

PWS, Section C, 5.3.4, page 21. The paragraph states that the contractor shall facilitate, at a minimum, an environmental compliance officer/recycling compliance course once per quarter.

Question:

On average how much time is typically required to support the compliance course once a quarter? How many support personnel are typically required?

Answer: Refer to PWS paragraphs 5.3.4 and 5.3.5. The contractor shall facilitate these courses for Government personnel. The contractor needs to explain their method of fulfillment of this requirement.

9. Issue:

PWS, Section C, 5.4.2, page 23. The PWS requires contractors to conduct quarterly inspections of the hazardous materials storage facilities inspections at each of the approximately 40 activities that are serviced by the HAZMART section. No specifics are provided for the inspections, and only an incumbent will have access to this information.

Question:

To provide all bidders an equal opportunity to estimate the workload accurately, will the Government indicate how long each of these inspections takes utilizing TE+5.4.2- 001+HAZMART+Storage+Inspection+Checklist+(HW-HM)?

Answer: HAZMART inspections average approximately 1-2 hours.

10. Issue:

PWS, Section C Part 4, 4.1, page 17. The PWS stipulates that the contractor shall furnish all supplies, equipment, facilities, and services necessary to perform the required work.

Question:

Will the USG identify the equipment that has typically been supplied by the contractor?

Answer: TE 3.2-001 is included in this solicitation listing all Government Furnished Property/Equipment (GFP/GFE). TE 4.3-001 is included in this solicitation listing anticipated supplies.

11. Issue:

RFP, Instructions to offerors Volume IV, d, page 37. There are no demographic data provided for the existing staff, which impacts the paid time off calculations associated with fringe rates.

The Service Contract Act (SCA) has a stepped-up basis for vacation time relating to the years that an employee has been working on a specific contract and its successor(s). Greater levels of seniority will lead to more vacation hours. Absent this information, bidders will develop a basis of estimate that supports lower pricing, especially on Firm Fixed Price contracts where there is a greater incentive to provide the lowest price. This reduces accuracy.

Question:

To ensure price realism and prevent "inaccurate pricing from offerors with a resultant "lowballing" of pricing, what level of seniority should the bidders use in developing their pricing? For example, in other Government solicitations, there has been an instruction to assume that, on average, a specific number of years of experience. This approach ensures that the Government receives comparable proposals, and an incumbent does not have an advantage over other bidders.

Answer: This is a performance-based contract for services. It is the contractor’s business decision.

12. Issue:

PWS, Section C, 5.2.5, page 19. The paragraph states that the Contractor shall accept, store, and process for pick-up of all dry and wet batteries turned in on the installation.

Question:

Is the process for picking up batteries in preparation before the arrival of a vendor designated to collect the hazardous waste for treatment and disposal off the installation?

Answer: Lead acid batteries are received and processed at the hazardous waste facility in preparation for sale through the recycling program. Contractor needs to explain how they will process battery preparation for sale to meet this requirement.

13. Issue:

PWS, Section C, 5.3.4, page 21. The paragraph states that the Contractor shall train units via the "Recycling Compliance Person (RCP) / Hazardous Material - Hazardous Waste Handlers/Sustainability Management System (SMS)" class (i.e., the RCP/HM/HW/SMS course) and the "Stormwater Pollution Prevention" class, encompassing an anticipated attendance of 3,000 personnel annually.

Question:

How many occurrences are scheduled annually for this training requirement? On average, how long are each of the sessions? How many personnel are, on average, required to support the effort?

Answer: Refer to PWS paragraph 5.3.4. The contractor shall facilitate these courses for Government personnel. The contractor needs to explain their method of fulfillment of this requirement.

14. Issue:

PWS, Section C, 5.3.5, page 21. The paragraph states that the Contractor shall facilitate, at a minimum, the Environmental Compliance Officer/Recycling Compliance Person Course once per quarter; other aforementioned training listed in this paragraph are scheduled by the G-4

Command Maintenance Evaluation Team. No specifics are supplied relating to the number of courses and the specific duration of each. Without these specifics, the Government will receive widely divergent basis of estimates and associated costs. Only an incumbent will have accurate information upon which to develop pricing.

Question:

How long are these quarterly training sessions, and, on average, how many attendees are in each session?

Answer: Refer to PWS paragraph 5.3.5. The contractor shall facilitate these courses for Government personnel. The contractor needs to explain their method of fulfillment of this requirement.

15. Question: Is there an expectation in regard to the number of full-time staff members on site every day to support this work?

Answer: This is a performance-based contract for services. It is the contractor’s business decision.

16. Question: GFE cell phones, are these phones to be used for emergency, off hours, call in purposes or are they to remain on base at all times?

Answer: GFE cell phones are for daily operations in performance of the contract requirements and after-hours emergency responses. No personal or long-distance usage will be allowed.

17. Question: Is the contractor required to supply diesel fuel?

Answer: No.

18. Question: Are the drum grapples, hoists, diaphragm pumps, air compressor, etc. viewed during the site walk GFE?

Answer: Yes, they are GFE.

19. Question: Section 5.2.7 of the PWS references TE 4.2.2-01. As we do not see this attachment in SAM please provide if it is applicable to the PWS.

Answer: TE 4.2.2-01 is being provided in amendment 0001.

20. Question: Section 5.3.1 indicates that 85 formal installation inspections are to be conducted annually as shown on attachment TE 5.3.1-001. This attachment appears to have over 100 facilities listed for inspection. Please advise as to which is the most up to date.

Answer: Historically, there are 85 inspections performed throughout the year. The TE is the most accurate; however, the number will increase and decrease as the military changes mission and equipment.

21. Question: Will the government consider offering an extension to the proposal due date of 28 November to 02 December? The request is to allow for additional question response time, incorporation of responses into proposal, and client PPQ submittal responses. Based on the response to PWS questions additional past performance questionnaires may need to be submitted and the concern is that the evaluating personnel may be on leave in conjunction with the Thanksgiving Holiday.

Answer: The solicitation closing date is being changed in amendment 0001.

22. Question: Our team kindly requests an extension for the proposal submission date to December 5, 2022, 1200 EST.

Answer: The solicitation closing date is being changed in amendment 0001.
